'How I Met Your Mother' exec teases wedding

How I Met Your Mother's executive producer Carter Bays has revealed that the mysterious wedding in the show will be part of a bigger story.

According to TV Line, a flash forward in the season finale will reveal the identity of the bride and groom.

However, the revelation will be part of a plot which takes place in the present.

"The wedding takes place a little ways down the road, an unidentified, unspecified amount of time away," Bays said. "We will be jumping forward for the last scene of the finale, but then we'll return to the present day when we start season seven.

"The idea is that we're going to keep revealing little details about this wedding day as we build toward [it] within the chronological story of the show."

Bays explained that the mystery of the mother will be tied in with the wedding storyline and revealed that the show's recent renewal allowed him to extend the plot.

"We always knew how the series was going to end but this is a new element that we came up with this year," he said. "It adds a new dimension where you're not just asking, 'Who is this woman that Ted's going to meet and how does he meet her?' There are now other questions."
